Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming copper nanowires with a metallic coating. In a preferred embodiment, the metallic coating is copper. Due to the metal coating, the nanowires become magnetically guidable and chemically stable. As such, the nanowires can be used to form nanomesh. Further, the nanowire and nanomesh of the present invention can be used as transparent electrodes that are used in TV, PC, touch-control, and solar industries.

Abstract: According to various embodiments, a balloon inflating device may be provided. The balloon inflating device may include a balloon, a first substance within the balloon, a second substance within the balloon capable of having a reaction with the first substance to generate a gas within the balloon to inflate the balloon; and an electrical activator configured to activate the reaction between the first and second substances thus inflating the balloon. According to various embodiments, a method for inflating a balloon may be provided. The method for inflating a balloon may include providing a first substance within the balloon, providing a second substance within the balloon; and activating a reaction between the first and second substances electrically to generate a gas within the balloon to inflate the balloon.

Abstract: An HVAC system has two variable-air-volume (VAV) systems, a first VAV system for moving fresh air and a second VAV system for moving recycled air. Both the fresh air and recycled air are cooled and dehumidified by a single heat-exchanging coil. The fresh and recycled air streams travel independently in separate ducts until the air streams reach a remotely located mixing box where the air streams mix and ventilate into a room or zone of a building. The HVAC system uses carbon dioxide and temperature sensors in order to regulate the flow of fresh and recycled air to various mixing boxes throughout the building.
